Learn the Medicare Hospice Guidelines that bring patients so many benefits.

Learn many ways you can support your patients, acquaintances and loved ones at the end of life.

As a Hospice nurse, I thought I understood what it meant to provide care during the last hours of life. When I lost my spouse, I learned that all that training & experience did not prepare me for the minute to minute bedside care the patient - & family - needs. By the end of this weekend, you'll be certified & feel ready to support those who so desperately need you.

A factual review of infectious diseases that are plaguing Northern California this winter, and what are the latest scientific recommendations? We'll explore how to support those with questions.

A look at new medications and breakthroughs to help you educate your patients.

We'll explore how your stress affects your patient's stress and, in a relaxing, retreat atmosphere, learn and practice ways to decrease those factors and their impact.

Volunteer Community Nurses and Caregivers are desperately needed. Be ready to heed the call, through your spiritual community, in your families and for your friends.

Don't let age or disability stop you from being a caregiver. While direct care may no longer be an option, other opportunities, paid or volunteer, are limited only by your imagination.
